Thinking out loud
about AI and work.

I'm a finance professional who builds things with AI on the side — automations, tools, and the occasional weekend project. This is where I write down what I'm learning.

Practical insights on AI adoption. No spam.

About

Curious first.
Opinionated second.

I don't have all the answers. What I have is a lot of hands-on tinkering, and some opinions that have changed more than once.

I'm a Publishing Royalty Manager by title, but most of what I actually enjoy is building things from scratch. When I hit a wall with manual, repetitive work — closings, royalty calculations, reporting — I didn't wait for a tool to be handed to me. I just started building one.

That instinct — figure it out, build the first version, break it, fix it — is the same one I bring to every side project. I've felt the rush of a first working prototype, the frustration of something that almost works, and the quiet satisfaction of a process that finally runs on its own. That hands-on experience shapes how I think and write about AI.

Outside my day job, I build with Claude, Gemini, and Cursor, share what I learn on LinkedIn and YouTube, and try to be honest about what worked, what didn't, and what I'm still figuring out.

Real projects — personal tools, automations, and experiments. Everything here started as a problem I actually had.
